POPS Incorporated UK

Welcome to Pops Incorporated UK

Modelled on the internationally renowned Toronto Pops Orchestra, Pops Incorporated perform a diverse selection of rhythms and melodies from many decades of music. Their repertoire ranges from contemporary pop to traditional jazz music, as well as exhilarating film and soundtrack orchestrations such as ‘Star Wars’.

Harnessing the enthusiasm of over 70+ talented musicians & singers from all over the Hampshire & Dorset area, the popularity of the Orchestra has rapidly grown in status since its inception over nineteen years ago. This success has been born from a continued atmosphere of dedication, commitment and professionalism, ensuring that a ‘Pops’ performance is both exciting and breathtaking.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our web site, and very much hope to see you at a Pops concert.
